  1. Medical Transcription

    ijuanabhappy replied to PattyRN212's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it all depends on who she wants to work for. The national companies would require transcriptionist training or prior work history as a transcriptionist. I worked for a company like that...

  2. Medical Transcription

    ijuanabhappy replied to PattyRN212's topic in General Nursing

    The best thing to do since you have never been a transcriptionist is to try to find individuals locally that have their own business so that they can take you under their wing. The nursing is a major...

  3. does age REALLY matter?

    ijuanabhappy replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    I will be 41 when I graduate from an ADN program. Do you think it will be more difficult for me to find a job as opposed to a 25 to 30 year old right out of school? Does anyone else have experience...

  5. does age REALLY matter?

    I am 39 and about to start in the fall. Should I give up my precious seat to a youngster?

  6. Please pray for my son

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today I took my 6-year-old son (he will be 7 in a week) to the hospital lab for a cystic fibrosis test called a sweat test. The doctor called me today and told me that it was borderline (50) and that...

  7. Please pray for my son

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers. We got the results back on the second sweat test for cystic fibrosis at the other hospital and it came back negative! Dr. says no CF! The...

    Thanks to everybody for all of your prayers! I will keep you

  9. Please pray for my son

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much. We will say prayers for your son as well. The waiting and uncertainty is very difficult. It looks like we live fairly close to each other. I am near Frisco, Texas.. Thanks...

  10. Newly Admitted Nursing Student - Is there no hope??

    ijuanabhappy replied to SanDiegoGirl's topic in General Nursing

    That is good news that the numbers are low and that your body is possibly clearing it. I see that you are very young. Is it a possibility you may have had this from childhood? For example, 1 in 10...

  11. Newly Admitted Nursing Student - Is there no hope??

    ijuanabhappy replied to SanDiegoGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the OP is saying that she did have the vaccination series, but prior to this had already been exposed to Hep B. After giving blood, she was notified of positive Hep B (probably both core...

  12. Newly Admitted Nursing Student - Is there no hope??

    ijuanabhappy replied to SanDiegoGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think a person can be a carrier of Hep B and also show immunity. I believe over 80% of those exposed to Hep B, end up clearing the virus and then they will show...

  13. I didn't get accepted

    ijuanabhappy replied to kimistry511's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel. The first college I applied to did not accept me and I also had a high GPA. There were just so many students that applied. I was discouraged because I am 39 as well, with three...

  14. VA Nursing

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone work as an RN for the VA or know what it is like to work there. What the environment is like, and how difficult it is to get a position with an associates degree right out of school?...

  15. Oh, well - Not for me.

    ijuanabhappy replied to dragonflycafe's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same fears and paranoia as you, so I know what you mean. I also have felt like a major wimp because I am worried about getting assaulted by a patient since I have heard this happens often....

  16. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am not trying to seek any medical advice, just wanting to know if any nurses have subjective or objective knowledge on whether a nurse could function on the job while taking antidepressants. I know...

  17. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    ijuanabhappy replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the OP's anxieties and concerns about this. It is not being self-centered, shallow, or silly. Eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorders are real painful conditions that nobody...

  18. this website....

    ijuanabhappy replied to dylansmama's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the OP. I have found that people on here are just ready to "pounce". Some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing I think. You have to really watch how you word things or you...

  19. Luvox anyone?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, I went to my psychiatrist today. I have been off the Lamictal about a month due to hair loss/thinning. I liked the Lamictal and will probably end up getting back on it. But I have been...

  20. Luvox anyone?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. I took my first pill last night and I do feel a little nauseous right now, but I am going to give it a

  21. Becoming a medication aide??

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am just needing some information about what being a medication aide entails? I start an RN program this fall and we were told in orientation that after first semester we could take an exam to...

  22. Becoming a medication aide??

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you Bradley. I worked so very hard for my A's in Anatomy, Physiology, Micro, and Pharmacology! I took two of these classes per semester (I had everything else completed...

    Thank you Pagandeva!

  24. Becoming a medication aide??

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your time explaining that Bradley. I had no idea. My grandmother is 86 years old and in a nursing home for the first time in her life after being so independent. She recently fell and broke...

  25. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    ijuanabhappy replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think we should make references to put down one's attractiveness or age. That is not being mature either if you think about it. Whatever the reason she had for doing what she did.. it was...
